[QUOTE="pierceography, post: 1297324, member: 26311"] I actually was taking a jab at driver longevity. ;-) Although I've noticed the trend in (successful -- I'm sorry, I can't take Tesla seriously until they can build a model three outside a tent in a parking lot) automotive companies going the other way. Let me qualify that statement: My wife's 2013 Explorer Limited was almost all touch everything. She got used to where everything was after awhile, but I didn't. When I drove it (sparingly), I found myself eyes off the road trying to adjust the temperature/fan/whatever often... It was all touch. That's just not safe, not matter how you slice it. Her new 2017 Explorer Platinum replaced the touch panel buttons with *actual* buttons. Same location, same function, just... buttons. Ford got it. The new hotness is bigger screens; But while it's tolerable to have my face glued to my new bigger phone screen in a meeting (my boss may disagree), the same absolutely does not apply to driving. I'm glad Ford didn't increase the size of their infotainment display with the 2017. Those new Rams do what Dodge does best: Knee jerk throw something into their truck they think consumers will spend more money on. It looks cool, and I'm sure Chrysler's marketing heads love it, but that 100" screen in the '19 Ram is a hard pass for me. THAT BEING SAID (and I promise I'm done hijacking your thread now), for your needs as stated, that gigantic LCD looks awesome and is a great mod. I'm kind of jealous, but when I have my two young boys in their car seats behind me, I'll be just fine with my climate buttons. Would love to see some more photos and if you come up with inventive ways to use it! [/QUOTE]
